Forums Forums Local News Wheelie bin collections - UPDATE

Our grey bin was collected on due date (Thursday) this week, green bin was collected on Monday just a couple of working days late.

Still laugh that the Green bin is not the Green bin if you know what I mean.

Bin still not emptied, despite a guarantee from barbara that answered the phone yesterday at streetscene that it would be!!!!!

I wasnt sure which one they would collect earlier this week (Wednesday) - put both out, they emptied the green one as per schedule, but then came back 30 mins later and did the grey one that they had missed the previous week...

I recon they see how full they get over an extra week, ie, see if people have to bag rubbish - if there isnt much overflowing from the bins, maybe they plan to cut collections further

Its mon tomoz. Streetscence here i come.... again!!!!!! Still not emptied and it will be due this thurs anyway!!! Suppose the road will be too icey by then .He he !!!

Tues the bin wagon came and emptied the green one that should have been emptied on sat, but I missed the collection as I was out at work. Later in the day tues while I was out with the dog, the grey one (and any other bin in the st got emptied) So much for recycling! Why bother when garden bins ,green bins and grey bins were going in the same wagon.I phoned up and was told because i have missed the collection I now have to wait until jan 18thfor my next collection. That is over 4 weeks away from the time the green bin was last emptied.

I'm not being nostalgic, but I remember snow never stopped these lazy arsed binmen in the past.

Blame claim culture

My bin is still overfilled and in need of collected :@

It use to be easy for the bin wagon to get round the roads and streets in the snow, but that was before ALL THESE WORKING FROM HOME TYPES HAD CARS PARKED ALOND THE EDGES OF THE PAVEMENTS ALL DAY LONG

I saw next door put her bin out last night for collection today - no chance

No Jimbob, your thinking back to when all us peasants and working classes weren't allowed to have cars.

YOUR RIGHT BERT1. THEY WHERE THE HAPPY SRESS FREE DAYS OF PLENTY OF JOBS, 10PM CLOSING FOR THE PUBS AND THE KIDS COULD PLAY OUT TILL IT WENT DARK WITH NO FEAR FOR THE PARENTS THAT THEY WOULD COME TO ANY HARM {WHATS GONE WRONG}

I think they call it progress!!!!

Not sure some of the issues we see now are "progress" - maybe more social evolution....

Back to the bins - mine where due to be done today - anyone know when this will now happen?

Whichever it is, give me the good old days I think

I'd rather the binmen leave our bins, the road and pavement is far to dangerous for residents to get the bins to the pavement side, also it would be to dangerous for the binmen to get the bins to the wagon, that's if the wagon can get down the road in the first place. I would worry if they attempted it, a few cars would lose there sides, best left till the weather picks up, providing they don't refuse to take bags that are not in the wheelie.
